Localized Thermometry via Dayem Bridges Integrated on Superconducting Qubit Chips
Ella O. Lachman, Dave P. Pappas, Jayss Marshall +1
Accurate knowledge of the on-chip temperature is essential for understanding and optimizing the performance of superconducting qubits, yet direct thermometry at millikelvin tempera…
Magneto-optical study of Nb thin films for superconducting qubits
Amlan Datta, Kamal R. Joshi, Sunil Ghimire +7
Among the recognized sources of decoherence in superconducting qubits, the spatial inhomogeneity of the superconducting state and the possible presence of magnetic-flux vortices re…
Oxygen distribution and segregation at grain boundaries in Nb and Ta-encapsulated Nb thin films for superconducting qubits
Jaeyel Lee, Dieter Isheim, Zuhawn Sung +14
We report on atomic-scale analyses of oxygen distribution and segregation at grain boundaries (GBs) of Nb and Ta-encapsulated Nb (Ta/Nb) thin films for superconducting qubits using…
Identifying Materials-Level Sources of Performance Variation in Superconducting Transmon Qubits
Akshay A. Murthy, Mustafa Bal, Michael J. Bedzyk +46
The Superconducting Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center, a DOE National Quantum Information Science Research Center, has conducted a comprehensive and coordinated study using super…
